PRESIDENT VON DER AHE'S ———— Harry Wright and His View of the Leaders. weep toe, GOSSIP OF THE PLAYERS eget By a brilliant victory over the St. Louis team, the Washingtons closed the season on the home grounds as they commenced it, with the Philadelphias. To open and close the season with a victery is very gratifying to the home patrons, even if the loeal team is dewn near the foot of the list. When the Philadelphias came down here jast spring to open the season, they met 4 combiration of sprightly youngsters ready to give them battle. Esper was in "he box for the Senators, and he pitched a masterly kame and received excellent support in the field and at the bat. Then it was that the remark was made:- ‘The Serators wiil foul ‘em."* Well, they have! The records will show that the Washing- won fourteen out of the last es played, which is % very cred- » rounding up on the home grounds. last game with St. Louis was just such contest as was calculated to fill the hearts of the loyal rooters with local pride and send the Senators on their western trip with the good wishes admirers. As a matte “property” floral hors 2nd presented to Capt. Joy plate, just As an evidence that the traditional good luck still clusters around a horse's shoe, Capt Joyce popped up a little ily back of short, whick Quinn misjudged and Hogs could not reach, heace the captain-respond- ed to the presentation by being credited with a twe-bagger. With the home team playing such good ball, and the. local interest almost up to the boiling point, there is no wonder Kari Wagner begged so hard to have the western series transferred east. ( spite of ali that may be said in behalf of the transfer, from a jal standpoint, John T. Brush was unquestionably right when he objected to the proposed transfer on the ground that the league owed something to their pattons in the western cities. There is a ceitaia zmount of local pride surrounding every club in the league, be they in the first or the second division. As Chris Von der Ahe said while here this week, he was bound to Jespect the wishes of the pevple of St. Louis, if he expected to receive their en- couragement and support. He understands that the interest in the closing of the pres- ent season centers in the east, but the loc. friends of the national game in the we demand that the schedule shall out as originally drawn. a of course trotted out at the home was done in the opening game. the old t be played Next week promises to bring out teresting developments in the case er Petty, formerly with Washington, how with Cleveland. It that during his recent visit to Washington with the Cleveland clut he was arrested upon the charge of sendmg obscene com- munications to a woman with whom was said to have lived and afterward d serted. It Is not generally known that FPet- ty spent one night in the District jail du ing the Cleveland series. When the char: Was first made against him he treated it as a joke. He evidently did not realize that the law on the subject is very broad and he is liable to a very severe penalty. President Young was appealed to by President Robi- son of the Cleveland club, late at night. Mr. Young was not prepared to xo Petty’s bond on demand without taking due precau- tions to proteet himself agaist a breach of faith. While Petty languished in jal, the members of the Cleveland team held a’ con- sultation and they signed au agreement to have S#) each w.thheld trom their salaries to guarantee Mr. Young 500 if he wonll fur- nish the necessary bail. This arrangement was satisfactory and Petty was released. In the meantime, Petty has raised the amount required to relieve ais comrales who came so loyally to his rescue, and_an amount equal to the bail is now held by Air, Young as security. but ill be remembered Chris Von der Ahe says he is going to make a grand protest at the next meeting of the league against the rule which per- mits an umpire to order players out of a game without imposing a tine on them. Chris contends that such a rufe works to the disadvantage of the managers rather than the players. He does not want his men to play dirty ball, and if they insult an umpire, he is willing that they should be fined. He will see to it that their fines are paid out of their salaries; bu: he objects most seriously to having two or three of his most valuable players ordered out of a game when his club has a fighting cha to win out. He was very an: pire Betts for ordering Shug out of Wednesday's game. ife would have preferred that a fine had been inflicte?. “Uncle Harry” Wright visited National Park Thursday to witness the closing game between the Senators and the St. Louis. He watched the work of Umpire Betts care- fuliy, and pronounced it practically perfect. ‘The only decision that could be questioned was in not allowing Wacd’s run, -vhile Me- Guire was being run out between second and third. Betts was occupied in watching the ball chasing McGuire, hence he could not see whether Ward crossed the plate b fore Mac was retired.

Last week, when the Orioles r pole, after a desperate struggle with and New York, some of the Baltimore papers were so demoralized that they printed wood cuts upside down, “scare heads” were inverted, and there was every indication that the Raltimoreans were ex- reriencing a “gigantic jag of joy” over the suecess of their team. Let them rejoice. They have a winning team, and they have worked hard for the position they now oc- cupy. In referring to the magnificent playing of the Raltimores, President Young recalled the fact that the oles have had great luck in some of the deals for players which they have made. For instance, they traded Tim O'Rourke f Jenni and lor, Ghindle and . a lway for Brouthers a: Keeler.

Tommy Dowd may not play with St. Louis next season. Tommy is putting up a tiff game in the field and at the bat, but somehow Chris Von der Ahe is not entirely Satisfied with Tommy's hustling qualities. He did not play in the games here this week cn account of an injured hand. Washington's New Second Baseman. It now looks as though Washington had secured a new second baseman.

The Washington Base Bail Club played an exhibition game yesterday at Marietta, Ohio, and won by a score of 12 to 5, Mike Kelly's Yonkers, N. Y., club won from the Giants yesterday, the score being 10 to 5. Buffalo fell before Boston to the tune of 11 to 3. The Boston pitchers are clubs. Comiskey thinks that New York will pull off the championship. “Are you a bail player?”said Gus Schmelz to Piggy Ward. “Well, the newspapers say I'm not,” responded the ever-ready Piggy.— Sporting Life. W. H. Watkins, the old Detroit manager; is spoken of as Pittsburg’s new manager. Tim Hurst has been suggested by a St. Louis paper as the manager for Von der Ahe's team next season. Arlie Latham says he is tired of playing in the west, and wouldn't mind going even to Washington, President Reich is anxious to have the Phillies beat the record made by the team under Harry Wright's management last year. Boston had a chance to purchase the re- lease of Catcher Grim for $2,500. Director Conant was in favor of taking the man. Queer how New York and Baltimore are winning right along, after getting outtield- ed and outbatted. Wonder if the umpires are not rather friendly to those boys just now? : It is said that the release of Scheibeck by the Pittsburg club was not favored by Manager Buckenberger, and that this start- ed the row between hin and the diréctors. ‘The Bostons are evidently glad to get y to cities where their great plays, t fielding and bard batting will. be vastly more appreciated than at home.— Boston Herald. pie for- most Baltimore has won 4) and lost New York #1 and 14, Boston 38 and 15, Phila- delphia 33 and Brooklyn 32 and 20 and Washington 27 teams this season, in all.

League “games today—Washington at Cin- cinnati, Bosion at Chicago, Brooklyn at St. Louis, New York at Cleveland, Philadelphia at Pittsburg, Baltimore at Louisvilie. The loss of Thursday's game puts the champions in third place and the outlook for the pennant is very doubtful, according to the Boston Globe. Boston base ball gatherings view the play- ing of the champions with indifference. The last eastern trip of the six western teams ended Thursday. In all, 123 games were played, of which the eastern eontin- gent won %, the western 31. Washington finished fifth, winning 13 and losing 6. ‘The Louisvilles lost 19 games on their re- cent trip and won 2; one from Philadelphia and one from Boston. The St. Louis Browns and the Chicagos made the best showing of the western clubs, winring 7 and losing 1%. Cleveland won 6 and lost 15, Cincinnati 5 and lost 17, Pitts- burg 4 and lost 15. —_———_ A LOVER'S REVENGE. Cut Out the Tongee of His Faithless A well-known figure in the streets of New Braunsfels, Tex., is that of a raw-boned old horse drawing a cart in which is seated a man and woman of strange, and even ro- nantic, history, in spite of their shabby un- picturesqueness. They are both of them over fifty years old, and have been in this country now for nearly thirty years. Their fallow countrymen, who knew them in Ger- many, sy that at the time of the Franco- Prussian war the man, who was a lawyer of considerable talent, was conscripted and <bliged to serve in the German army, al- though he was just about to be married. He returned home after the war to hear that his fiancee was on the eve of marriage with a former lover, and without pausing to inquire into the truth of the report ma his way at once to the girl's home and found his rival with her. The man, whose guilty conscience did not exone: an attempt to win the girl's favor, broke and ran at the sight of the infuriated lover, leaving the girl to face him alone. She was so frightened that she could only staimer out excuses, and maddened at this seeming confession of treachery the soldi rvshed at the girl, and, setzing his sword, forced open her mouth, and saying that he weuld cut out the tongue that betrayed and lied to him did so, and ilinging the dissever- ed tongue at her feet went home to await the consequences of his deed. The girl fainted, and her parents, who had been out, coming in and finding her thus cried out that she was dead. This brought the police and a doctor. The former being told the name of the culprit by the rival went to take him into custody, while the,doctor brought the maimed girl to and learning what the matter was tried to stop the flow of blood. This was almost a work of despair, but finally her strength and the physician's skill prevailed. When the poor creature learned that her lover had been arrested and that they wished her to testify against him, she not only re- fused to do the first, but went to the police of the city in person and offered to take an cath that her lover had not committed the crime. He had already, however, admitted it, and his trial took place. But the faithful sweetheart demanded to be taken to the judge who was to try the case, and submitted to him a statement that her lover had acted ona jealous impulse, and that he had been justified in believing her false. This, together with the fact that he had been cruelly torn away from his bride almost on the eve of marriage, and that he had served bravely all through the war, rising through courage alone from the rank of sergeant to that of lieutenant, served to mitigate the severity of his pun- lishment, and he was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment. The colonel of his regiment, also a fellow- citizen, knowing fully the circumstances of the case, and touched by the sufferings of the faithful girl and hot-brained, though brave, lover, made still further efforts in his behalf and he was pardoned by the em- peror after a month's imprisonment. They were married at once and came to this country, where they have a little farm, adding to their meager ingome by selling milk and vegetables. ‘The woman for years allowed her neigh- bors to think that she was born a mute, though many suspected her silence as being mere sulkiness, as she could evidently hear distinctly, but not long ago some emigrants from their native place saw and recognized them and told their sad history to the com- munity, ate him of | LINGO OF THE GAME Base Ball English as It Has Boon Do- veloped. The Growth of w That Delig! the Odd Vernacular a Base ball English as she is wrote for the edification of the public is luridly pictur- esque. A writer in ‘the New York Tribune used to go to base ball games. Later he could not go, but he read accounts of the Bames with a certain amount of pleasure and instruction. Finally he ceased to read about the “green diamond sport.” The other day, however, he went up to the Polo | grounds to court his old love. It was a prettily pla} | game and he enjoyed it. With his interest still keen he glanced over @ published account of the same game, and found that his impressions of it, formed on the grounds, were entirely wrong. In the first place players. who were supposed to have family names hadn't any such useless things. In the paper one was “Midget.” Ancther was “Spud.” There was a “Fatty, with “Skeleton” to keep him company, etc. Family names like pedigrees, it seems, do not make base ball players. ‘The first man who came to the bat did not make a base hit. He “walloped out a single.” The next did not do anything so tame and antique as to send a fly to center lield or to fly out. He got real demoniac and “fungoed to center.” ‘The center: field- er wasn’t a bit terrified either, for he “bug- ged the musty fly." What the innocent lover of base ball had taken for a three- bas hit was nothing of the kind, Such conventional things are not allowed on the grounds, It was worse than crying twins. it was a “whistling triplet. A fielder did not catch a high fly, He “connected with a bailoon fly,” and. the young man who was rash enough to fol- low up this phenomenon was not put out at rst base. He arranged his own funeral and “died an easy death at first.” Cawhing has gone out of fashion entirely. When a player catches a ball he is fined by the um- pire for insulting the intelligence of the spectators. He “clasps a high one," or “hauls in a fly,” or “pulls a throw down,” The Batsme It seems that at this game, accor the published report, an ac “wings on his heels” ard “tabasco sauce in his arms.” Yet he was perfectly tame and tractable when out “larruping ap- ers,” or “slapping out dandy singles,” or “lacing an easy one,” or “slashing oui a peach.” There was a nice-appearing young man on one of the teams who did not look as if he would harm a fly, but he was real- ly a fend incarnate, for he deliberately and im_cold blcod “unchained a cyclone witli his center fleld. It isn’t safe to judge by appearances, One player seemed to jog along to first base when the umpiré gave him his base on balls But the baseball Shakespeare denies this malicious char. He says that he “ambled to the bag. Th‘s same man did not steal second) bi®e. He “pilfered | it.” Altogether he was pretty disreputable fellow, for he also"*Fobbed the visitors ot third.” His caredr of crime wa: however, for when!

A batsman can do lots of things that the unsophisticated person would never dream of. On this day cne man, who had three strikes called on him, “cut the plate with three called balls.” Another “flied softly,” and “Denny froze it sweetly.” So, in spite of the stabbing and cutting and slashing, there is sometimes rura! gentleness. A man who was excited sent a “sizzling grounder rattling through the leg: of somebody, and another, who was politeness itself, “fanned the warm air." One player “sent a biffer past second,” and a rival “popped a mushy one abaft first.” Nothing happened, though, to the lee scuppers. Speaking of batsmen, none of them used a bat. Only “dufiers” so far forgot themselves as to play base tall with a bat and hall. These men “wielded the ash and willow handles” and oyed with the sphere.” Players never get put out in these days. The method of disposing of them varies. Some are put to sleep, some are allowed to languish in solitude, and some are tortured to death. In this game, so vividly de- scribed, One man “groped vainly for the elusive” and “played dead on the bench.” One was “coppered at first,” and another was “cinched at the plate.” Still another “expired in anguish” at first, and an un- offending but unpopular youth was “smoth- ered to death at second. ‘There is a suspicion on the part of tender- hearted people that foot ball is a rough game. As for base ball, the players only wallop, cut, larrup, baste, hug, squee: nip, freeze,” slap, pike, lace, cinch, slash, biff, punch, pound, ‘ape, toboggan, smother, choke and strar At least this is base ball, as set down by the historian! nailed,” ‘Tommy Brophy Mamie B.

A singular death is reported to have oc- curred recently at Glorietta, N. M.A young herdsman on the ranch of St. James left his home a few days since to track a band of mountain wolves which had been com- mitting depredations on the herds under his care, but expected to return by night. A day or two, however, passed without bringing news of him, His wife, becoming uneasy, a party of his fellow-ranchmen ted out to lcok for him. This search was for some time unsuccess- ful until a large flock of buzzards were seen hovering above some object in the lit- tle valley of a small local arroyo. Riding to this it was discovered to be the body of e unfortunate Delgado. The remains were dly decomposed, but the manner of his death was eviden: He had evidently been thrown from his horse upon a cactus piant with such vio- lence as to drive the long keen thorn of one braach into his heart.

A. to Use the Van Ness Athletic Field. Foot ball is the main topic of the autumn in athletic circles. Already the captains are commencing to figure on their teams, and although practice has not begun, it soon will be in full blast. A notice was posted at the Columbia Athletic Club about the middle of this week calling on those wishing to try for places on the team to hand in their names, and next week the organization of the eleven will begin. The Columbias have offered the use of their field to members of the Young Men’s Chris- tian Asociation desiring to put themselves in practice for the fall contests in foot ball. The old Van Ness Park, now the athletic field of the Columbias, has sustained a transformation’ in the last two months, and those who are just getting back to the city after an absence of some weeks are surprised to see the progress that has been made. Early in the summer the tennis courts were made ready for use, but no other part of the field was available for sports. The tennis courts have been large- ly in and this summer and there are still a number of players using them. But the rest of the field is ready for use now. The foot bail field, embracing the entire southern portion of the lot, is in good shape. Every stump has been taken out, the remains of the Davy Burns cottage have been cleared away to a brick and the entire field, by means of the plow and scraper, has been evened off and reduced to a smooth, hard surface, admirably adapted to foot-bail or any other field sports. The track has been laid out from the Van Ness house east to the fence. It has not been run on around along the south fence yet, 2nd it ts not likely that it will secon be completed that far, although it is the intention of the club io finish it all the Way around the field, yet to save expenses they have been filling it in only so fast as they could get Girt from other parts of the ground, The Van Ness house has been equipped with lockers and good water facilities. A place for jumping and pole vaulting has been fixed adjoining the tennis courts. ‘The Cclumblas are the first to take up foot ball this season. Capt, Bivins, as soon as he can get his men together, will put them to work on the fi Gymnastic classes wv regu resumed at the Columbia Club house. Prof. Francois Darillatt will gic lessons in fencing on Tuesd and Fri s from the even and on Monday Thursdays from » to 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Coming Winter Amusements. Mr. Sokneider, the chairman of the amusement committee, in speaking of the, coming winter, said that so far the com- mittee had done pething toward planning for the winter amusements of the club, but would probably hold meeting for that Purpose soon. . The Saturday night concerts down at the athletic field were discontinued last Saturday. The attendance has not been so large this summer as was hoped, and the committee did not think it worth while to go to the expense of Keeping up the afairs any lon e Sature evening smokers will be taken up again when the weather is cooler. It is also possible that a minstrel troupe, such as was talked of last winter, will be organized. The ¥. M,C. A. The Young Men's. Christian Association, Particularly, has taken advantage of the summer months to refit and rig out its gymnesium. The walls have been replas- tered, the ceiling has been colored a deli- cate blue and all-the posts have been re- painted, The bathing facilities have been enlarged and a new set of lockers and com- bination locks have been put in. On September 17, when the Y. M. C. A. wilt hold an open house, the gymnasium J before long be lieved by an application of Pain- Killer.
